Summary
The measure changes Minnesota’s medical assistance rules so that children who have had a hospital‑based surgery can receive up to 30 physical therapy sessions per year, instead of the standard 14, unless a prior authorization is granted. Other recipients keep the 14‑visit limit. The change aims to improve post‑surgical recovery for children on Medicaid.
